Flowers bring a house to life and, more than any other aspect of decoration, create a 'mood'. To look their best, flower displays must appear both original and relaxed -- a natural accompaniment to the setting. Decorating with Flowers concentrates on finding the right arrangement for the situation, using affordable, readily obtainable flowers, in every form: fresh florist's and garden flowers, dried and artificial flowers, or container-grown plants, so that the house is decorated with flowers all year round. This book not only provides a wealth of suggestions for decorating tables, walls, fireplaces, windows and windowsills and shelves and cupboards, it also offers inspiration for using flowers for celebrations -- from lunch parties to romantic dinners. There are seasonal ideas, discussions on flower colour and form and tips on how to use the wonderful attribute of scent to best effect. Beautifully photographed by specialist flower photographer, Mike Newton, Decorating with Flowers is a must for everyone who wants to create that special welcoming touch for their home on a budget that they can afford.
